Abstract
Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is currently considered as a promising treatment option for patients with symptomatic bradycardia caused by vagotonia. This study aims to further investigate its safety and efficacy in patients suffering from vagal bradycardia. A total of 60 patients with vagal bradycardia who underwent CNA in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from November 2019 to June 2022. Preoperative atropine tests revealed abnormal vagal tone elevation in all patients. First, the electroanatomic structures of the left atrium was mapped out by using the Carto 3 system, according to the protocol of purely anatomy-guided and local fractionated intracardiac electrogram-guided CNA methods. The upper limit of ablation power of superior left ganglion (SLGP) and right anterior ganglion (RAGP) was not more than 45W with an ablation index of 450.Postoperative transesophageal cardiac electrophysiological examination was performed 1 to 3 months after surgery. The atropine test was conducted when appropriate. Twelve-lead electrocardiogram, Holter electrocardiogram, and skin sympathetic nerve activity were reviewed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after operation. Adverse events such as pacemaker implantation and other complications were also recorded to analyze the safety and efficacy of CNA in the treatment of vagus bradycardia. Sixty patients were enrolled in the study (38 males, mean age 36.67 ± 9.44, ranging from 18 to 50 years old). None of the patients had a vascular injury, thromboembolism, pericardial effusion, or other surgical complications. The mean heart rate, minimum heart rate, low frequency, low/high frequency, acceleration capacity of rate, and skin sympathetic nerve activity increased significantly after CNA. Conversely, SDNN, PNN50, rMSSD, high frequency, and deceleration capacity of rate values decreased after CNA (all P < 0.05). At 3 months after ablation, the average heart rate, maximum heart rate, and acceleration capacity of heart rate remained higher than those before ablation, and the deceleration capacity of heart rate remained lower than those before ablation and the above results continued to follow up for 12 months after ablation (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in other indicators compared with those before ablation (all P > 0.05). The remaining 81.67% (49/60) of the patients had good clinical results, with no episodes of arrhythmia during follow-up. CNA may be a safe and effective treatment for vagal-induced bradycardia, subject to confirmation by larger multicenter trials.

Abstract
To evaluate the feasibility of cryoballoon (CB) ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) under the guidance of a new three-dimensional (3D) mapping system KODEX-EPD. 40 patients scheduled for CB ablation of AF in the first affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from August 2021 to July 2022 were randomly divided into two groups: KODEX-EPD 3D mapping system guidance group (KODEX group, n = 20) and conventional two-dimensional perspective group (standard group, n = 20). The ablation time, operation time, fluoroscopy time, fluoroscopy dose, contrast agent dosage and follow-up data were compared between the two groups. Besides, the feasibility and accuracy of the dielectric sensing system in evaluating pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion in patients with AF during CB ablation were verified. All pulmonary veins were being isolated. The ablation time (36.40 ± 6.72 min vs 35.15 ± 6.29 min, P > 0.05) and the operation time (64.20 ± 11.82 min vs 66.00 ± 13.18 min, P > 0.05) were not statistically different in the two groups. The standard group has longer fluoroscopy time, dose and contrast medium dosage. There were significant differences in fluoroscopy time (532.30 ± 72.83 s vs 676.25 ± 269.33 s, P < 0.05), fluoroscopy dose (110.00 ± 28.64 mGy vs 144.68 ± 66.66 mGy, P < 0.05), and contrast medium dosage (71.90 ± 5.97 ml vs 76.05 ± 5.93 ml, P < 0.05) between the two groups. The learning curves of the first 5 patients and the last 15 patients in the KODEX group were compared. There was no statistical difference in the ablation time (36.80 ± 8.56 min vs 36.27 ± 6.34 min, P > 0.05) or the operation time (69.00 ± 5.00 min vs 62.60 ± 13.10 min, P > 0.05); however, compared to the first 5 patients, fluoroscopy time (587.40 ± 38.34 s vs 513.93 ± 73.02 s, P < 0.05), fluoroscopy dose (147.85 ± 35.19 mGy vs 97.39 ± 8.80 mGy, P < 0.05) and contrast medium dosage (79.60 ± 1.14 ml vs 69.33 ± 4.45 ml, P < 0.05) were significantly decreased. Using pulmonary venography as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity of the completely occlusion in KODEX group was 93.6% (95% CI 85-97.6%) and 69.6% (95% CI 54-81.8%); and the sensitivity, specificity of the small leak in KODEX group was 93.1% (95% CI 82.4-97.8%) and 82.0% (95% CI 65.9-91.9%). During an average follow-up of (9.90 ± 1.06) months, there was no statistical difference in arrhythmia recurrence and antiarrhythmic drugs taking after CB ablation between the two groups (P > 0.05). Using the KODEX-EPD system, the CB ablation procedure can correctly evaluate the PV occlusion, and significantly reduce fluoroscopy exposure and contrast medium without significantly increasing the operation time.

Abstract
The GO- and SBA-15-modified UiO-66 adsorbents were developed for removal of trace Cr(vi) from wastewater and investigated to understand the effect of different hybrid ways on the absorption activity and reaction mechanism. The characterization results confirmed that the UiO-66 nanoparticles could be encapsulated by the SBA-15 matrix and anchored onto GO layers. Due to different exposure modes, the adsorption results showed that the GO-modified UiO-66 had better Cr(vi) trapping performance with the maximum removal efficiency of 97% within 3 min, presenting one of the most efficient Cr(vi) removal materials. Kinetic models showed that the adsorption process included fast, exothermic, spontaneous and pseudo-secondary chemical adsorption. By comparison with the Freundlich and Temkin model, the results revealed that the adsorption process of Cr(vi) by UiO-66@SBA-15 involved some multi-layer physical adsorption, while Cr(vi) was adsorbed onto the UiO-66@GO surface. The mechanism study also found that the fixation of Cr was the chemical action of UiO-66 on GO. Additionally, the encapsulated way increases the protection of UiO-55 from surface damage. In all, both hard-core-shell UiO-66@SBA-15 and piece UiO-66@Go increase the absorption activity of Cr(vi), but the different hybrid ways lead to different activities, absorption processes and regeneration abilities.

Abstract
In recent years, the prevalence of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has reached pandemic proportions as a leading cause of liver fibrosis worldwide. However, the stage of liver fibrosis is associated with an increased risk of severe liver-related and cardiovascular events and is the strongest predictor of mortality in MAFLD patients. More and more people believe that MAFLD is a multifactorial disease with multiple pathways are involved in promoting the progression of liver fibrosis. Numerous drug targets and drugs have been explored for various anti-fibrosis pathways. The treatment of single medicines is brutal to obtain satisfactory results, so the strategies of multi-drug combination therapies have attracted increasing attention. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of MAFLD-related liver fibrosis and its regression, summarize the current intervention and treatment methods for this disease, and focus on the analysis of drug combination strategies for MAFLD and its subsequent liver fibrosis in recent years to explore safer and more effective multi-drug combination therapy strategies.

Abstract
Infected individuals often obtain or lose immunity after recovery in medical studies. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a stochastic SIRS epidemic model with a general incidence rate and partial immunity. Through an appropriate Lyapunov function, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of a unique globally positive solution. The disease will be extinct under the threshold criterion. We analyze the asymptotic behavior around the disease-free equilibrium of a deterministic SIRS model. By using the Khasminskii method, we prove the existence of a unique stationary distribution. Further, solutions of the stochastic model fluctuate around endemic equilibrium under certain conditions. Some numerical examples illustrate the theoretical results.
